If you are even capable of seeing what's happening and what's coming, good job, congratulations. Give thanks for your capacity for this insight. Some are just not going to figure it out, as the Bitcoin story continues to demonstrate 😔
In the one-minute video above, watch as the talking heads so smugly and dismissively spew weak non-sense at their guest, telling him how Bitcoin will fail.
That was when you could buy 1 BTC for $100. Today, you could sell it for $100,000. Do you think these people now understand that they were wrong? Unlikely.

Fiat's failures are laid bare for anyone who would choose to see.
And as fiat fails, of course, Bitcoin's merit shines brighter - being a decentralized, neutral, open-sourced, global, supply-capped, digital money just looks better and better every day. And so, it's exchange value continues to ascend.
🎆 New All Time High
This week, Bitcoin hit a new all-time high exchange rate of nearly 112,000 IRS tax tokens (aka dollars) to one Bitcoin.
Moving up the charts, another one bites the dust.
If that fact doesn't have you pumped up and ready to run through a wall, this video, originally created for the day we crossed $100k, will:
We're going places, fam.
How high can this thing go??
📈 No Top
Why is there no top? Because the the measuring stick can shrink infinitely by comparison.
🍕Happy Pizza Day
This week, we celebrated Bitcoin Pizza Day, the day Laszlo made the first known real-world purchase with Bitcoin, paying another Bitcoiner 10,000 bitcoins to have a pizza delivered to his house

We also celebrate the infinite supply of pizza on pizza day, mocking a shockingly common critique of Bitcoin from otherwise apparently serious people - that because 1 bitcoin is divisible into 100,000,000 spendable units called satoshis, just as a dollar is divisible into 100 cents, that it is not actually scarce.
Happy pizza day, happy all time high, happy stacking and hodling!
✌️Bill

PS
If you haven't already, check out Swan's free Welcome to Bitcoin course. In one hour of high quality video content, Natalie Brunell covers the essentials of Bitcoin - the things you need to understand about its role in the world. You can enroll in the course at https://swan.com/welcome, or watch the first 15 minute video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZvhLDWjD_I&t=44s
Another great place to start is a 40 minute video called "What's the Problem", motivated by the notion that we can't understand the solution (ie Bitcoin) if we don't really understand the problem it solves. The video is on YouTube:

Feeling a little more than casual? Want to dive in deeper?
Here is a list of resources to take the next step with your personal Bitcoin learning journey:
Books:
- The Genesis Book - Bitcoin didn’t come out of nowhere; intellectual movements in economics and cryptography converge after decades of development in each, the result being Bitcoin. This book details Bitcoin’s prehistory, and is my favorite Bitcoin book
- Inventing Bitcoin - a narrative, progressive approach to building Bitcoin as a superior money, one feature at time, to help the reader understand how features of Bitcoin solve problems of money. *FREE* ebook download
- Gradually Then Suddenly - a clear, logical walkthrough, understandable by beginners, of the case for Bitcoin as money - how the technology works conceptually, how and why it will win, and why this is good for the world
- The Price of Tomorrow: Why Deflation is the Key to an Abundant Future - not a book about Bitcoin per se, but this book and this author are some of the most popular in the space. The book explains the roles of technological advancement and inflation/deflation in creating scarcity/abundance in society
- The 7th Property: Bitcoin and the Monetary Revolution - takes an accessible, casual tone to the topics of monetary economics, the history of central banking in the West, and how Bitcoin works
- The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking - the most popular book in Bitcoin, this book takes a relatively academic lens to the same topics as the 7th Property, with a significantly lighter treatment of Bitcoin itself
- A Progressive's Case for Bitcoin: A Path Toward a More Just, Equitable, and Peaceful World - imo not necessarily the best book on the list, but a thorough exploration of the ways that, even apart from what economic theory tells us about sound money's contribution to societal prosperity, Bitcoin makes for a better world
- Check Your Financial Privilege: Inside the Global Bitcoin Revolution - a compilation of essays by Human Rights Foundation's Alex Gladstein about the role that Bitcoin will play in liberating a world where more than 50% of people live under tyrants.
Podcasts:
- What Bitcoin Did - The most popular show with the most popular guests, topics range from developments in Bitcoin, the Bitcoin community, macroeconomics, and politics
- Preston Pysh - Covers the same topics with similar guests as What Bitcoin Did, though a little more technically advanced
- High Hash Rate - Very casual conversations about Bitcoin and Bitcoiners, usually making interesting connections to other areas of life and society. The connection-making is likely facilitated by the fact that the hosts are often high for the show
- Swan Signal - Covers recent developments in Bitcoin, leaning more toward markets and price action
Youtube Channels:
- Bitcoiner University - 10 minute videos deep diving on specific topics in Bitcoin and in relevant current events
- BTC Sessions - Perhaps the most important resource on this list, BTC Sessions does video tutorials on how to use Bitcoin and different Bitcoin tools like hardware wallets, running a Bitcoin node, etc
